In The God Strategy, David Domke and Kevin Coe offer a timely and
dynamic study of the rise of religion in American politics,
examining the public messages of political leaders over the past
seventy-five years--from the 1932 election of Franklin Roosevelt to
the early stages of the 2008 presidential race. They conclude that
U.S. politics today is defined by a calculated, deliberate, and
partisan use of faith that is unprecedented in modern politics.
Sectarian influences and expressions of faith have always been
part of American politics, the authors observe, but a profound
change occurred beginning with the election of Ronald Reagan in
1980. What has developed since is a no-holds-barred religious
politics that seeks to attract voters, identify and attack enemies,
and solidify power. Domke and Coe identify a set of religious
signals sent by both Republicans and Democrats in speeches, party
platforms, proclamations, visits to audiences of faith, and even
celebrations of Christmas. Sometimes these signals are intended for
the eyes and ears of all Americans, and other times they are
distinctly targeted to specific segments of the population. It's an
approach that has been remarkably successful, utilized first and
most extensively by the Republican Party to capture unprecedented
power and then adopted by the Democratic Party, most notably by
Bill Clinton in the 1990s and by a wide range of Democrats in the
2006 elections.
"For U.S. politicians today, having faith isn't enough; it must be
displayed, carefully and publicly. This is a stark transformation
in recent decades," write Domke and Coe. With innovative,
accessible research and analytical verve, they document how this
hasoccurred, who has done it and why, and what it means for the
American experiment in democracy.
In 1784, passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first
Americans to land in China, and the first to eat Chinese food.
Today there are over 40,000 Chinese restaurants across the United
States--by far the most plentiful among all our ethnic eateries.
Now, in Chop Suey Andrew Coe provides the authoritative history of
the American infatuation with Chinese food, telling its fascinating
story for the first time.
It's a tale that moves from curiosity to disgust and then desire.
From China, Coe's story travels to the American West, where Chinese
immigrants drawn by the 1848 Gold Rush struggled against racism and
culinary prejudice but still established restaurants and farms and
imported an array of Asian ingredients. He traces the Chinese
migration to the East Coast, highlighting that crucial moment when
New York "Bohemians" discovered Chinese cuisine--and for better or
worse, chop suey. Along the way, Coe shows how the peasant food of
an obscure part of China came to dominate Chinese-American
restaurants; unravels the truth of chop suey's origins; reveals why
American Jews fell in love with egg rolls and chow mein; shows how
President Nixon's 1972 trip to China opened our palates to a new
range of cuisine; and explains why we still can't get dishes like
those served in Beijing or Shanghai. The book also explores how
American tastes have been shaped by our relationship with the
outside world, and how we've relentlessly changed foreign foods to
adapt to them our own deep-down conservative culinary preferences.
Andrew Coe's Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the
United States is a fascinating tour of America's centuries-long
appetite for Chinese food. Always illuminating, often exploding
long-held culinary myths, this book opens a new window into
defining what is American cuisine.
